WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

"Gabriel is a respected, organized, creative leader who makes big things happen while connecting the critical dots for media companies and those needing to leverage the faith vertical. Gabriel's intuitive grasp of what works, what doesn't; when, and why, and why it's important, is a rare asset in vertical marketing.
Also, he's just a really great guy that everyone loves to work with."

-Tom Perrault – Vice President, Digital Services. DUNHAM+COMPANY

"Gabriel is a creative, disciplined, conscientious person who works hard and can always be counted on to produce results. He is an excellent manager of his own time and of the people who work with him. In short, he was the ideal employee and I am proud to call him a colleague of mine."

"In the 2 1/2 years we worked most closely together, Gabriel proved to be strategic and goal-oriented. Despite inherent constraints and challenges out of his control, Gabriel provided leadership which helped more than double our advertising revenue. He is widely liked and admired, not merely because he is winsome and strong relationally, but he also delivers the goods when it comes to coming alongside to help you meet your strategic, advertising and promotional goals."

-Rich Bennett, VP Strategy & Marketing, Focus on the Family

"Gabriel has a unique gift to see what needs to be done in a situation and help you create the right team to do it. He is generous, sharp and really a genius at being in the “know” about the long-term principles of the entertainment business. He is worth every single penny and more! I just wished I had known him last year!!"

-Lynn Barrington, President, SOKOR Media

"Having worked with Gabriel at UP Entertainment, I've consistently been impressed by his ability to execute on a wide range of projects with well-thought-out strategies, great team management skills, and an impressive sense of how to network and connect with people. Gabriel has brought equal skill and commitment to projects ranging from content and marketing partnerships to the establishment and successful operation of a digital sales team for UP TV. He has tackled all of these assignments with creativity, tenacity, accountability, integrity, and a focus on results. It's no wonder that he is widely respected by his peers across the faith media landscape."

-Philip Manwaring, EVP Finance & Strategic Planning, UP Entertainment
